Where do they lthc fur seals) go tos
Certainly not nortlward, for IL is well
known that not q single seal Is to be
found north Of the Pribylovs, and the
floating ice of winter prevents any con.
gregation Of amphibious life. There Is
then the southwark, the enormous ex-
panse of sea south Of the Aleutian chain,
5000 miles of water between Japan and
Oregon swarming with the natural food
of the seal-fish. They can have no
resting place or it would be known; they
must therefore spend all their time afloat,
seeing that they sleep at sea just as COM
fortably as, or perhaps more 80 than on
land. They lie on their backs, fold the
fore flippers across the breast, turn the
hind ones up and over, 30 that the tips
rest on their necks and chins, thus ex-
posing only the nose and the heels of the
hind flippers above water, nothing else
being seen. Here is no poetical fancy,
but prosaic fact, crooked in the cradle
Of the deep"
One cannot but think Of the enormous
quantity Of fish they must get through.
The common seal, such as we see in our
aquaria, has evidently most voracious
appetite, and never seems to be able to
get as much as he can do with. Con-
slider, then, the weight that must be con-
sumed in the year by the fur seal, several
times its size, roaming about under thor
oughly natural conditions in its natural
element, instead Of beingcooped up with
in the four walls Of tank.
As matter Of fact, the hosts Of fur
seal produce o notable scarcity Of fish
around the Pribylovs. It is perfectly
hopeless to throw line over the gunwale
of q boat. You must go out at least
seven or eight miles, and then you can
get nothing but very large halihut. Prac-
Gcally the sea for 100 miles around Il
cleared of fish. It Is computed that
forty pounds per day is rather starva-
ton allowance for an adult male, twelve
pounds to female, and not much, If
any, less for the fast growing pups.
Allow an average Of ten pounds per in
dividual per day, and calculate what
1000, 900 or 5,000,0 900 would consume
every day-only 100000 tons on 80.
Why, all tho fishing Of the world is but
drop in the bucket compared with this.
We must remember, too, that the seal is
only one Of the many creatures which
prey On fish. can well believe what is
asserted by many well informed people,
that the supply Of sea fish is inexhausti-
bic by any means known to man.-Au

Tho star Of Life in Sweden.


At Falun we found the average 6wed-
ish inn, with q cherries dining room,
where each table was piled high with
knackbrod, enough on each table to feed
twenty soldiers. The knackbrod is q
national institution and sign surer than
any sign post or frontier stone to tell one
that he is in Sweden. It Is made Of rye
or barley -four, mixed with potatoes and
quantities Of caraway seeds; ID baked in
thin sheets q foot in diameter, with q
hole in the middle, and through this hole
the market women run string and carry
Il around for sale. In the bread market
at Stockholm they fasten these strings Of
knackbrod to their shoulder yokes in
piles that reach from the yokes nearly to
the ground. Toan unappreciative palate
1t tastes quite a. much as it looks like
dog biscuit and II tougher than anything
else the human teeth struggle with. Be-
Edes the knackbrod, the Swedes offer you
many varieties Of sweet bread full Of car.
away seeds, and with the morning coffee
give you plates Of these fancy kick
shaws, but never any plain white bread,
and the coffee at Falun was something to
make one shiver with disgust. Cor.

We would call attention to the article of
"E. B" on another page, and at the same
time we will answer his question in the
affirmative. Yes, we have read Mr..
Grady's speech, and regard it as one of
the most eloquent and convincing argu-
ments in favor of local option or prohibi-
tion we have ever read. Noone can read
the speech and not feel that Prohibition
that don't prohitit" can and does prohi-
bit. As soon as our column can accom-
modate the length of the speech it will
appear, and our readers can read and
Judge for themselves.

Captain II. C. Dawson.

Campaign lies are generally short lived
and as often fail to accomplish the pur-
pose for which they are started. Capt.
Dawson was made the victim of dirty
lies started to injure his private charac.
ter during the last political campaign.
No complaint can be made against the
Gazette as to its treatment of the Captain
during the campaign. In fact in its last
issue before the election it spoke of him
in praise as man of uprightness of
character and private purity. Certain
individuals, however, sought by malic-
ious falsehoods to make votes against
the Captain and to injure him among
his Republican friends by charging him
with being blackleg and gambler in
one instance, and in another that his
associations were among unchaste and
debauched persons. Could mendacity
and slander go further? The author of
these falsehoods, notorious liar, felt
himself perfectly safe from suit for SLAM
der and libel, because not dollar could
be collected off of him in case damages
should be awarded the Captain. Prob
ably there is not man in Highland
county who would dare to stand up pub
licly and assert that he ever saw Capt.
Dawson with card in his hand, or ever
saw him in or about gambling place,
or even in q pool room, or in company
of lewd persons, or intoxicated, in the
four years he has lived in Hillsboro.
1t Is due to Capt. Dawson to denounce
these infamous lies as they deserve, and
that they should have no weight with
any decent citizen.
We confidently believe Mr.. Mackerley
had nothing to do with their attempted
circulation-in fact that he knew moth
ing of these efforts made by parties, not
20 much TO secure votes for him q to
vent their spite against Dawson. We
are glad 70 say it was not by such means
he was defeated.
The NuwsHERALD, Of course, for more
reasons than one, regrets his defeat.
Republicans generally and, We may add,
TOO, many Dempcrats, regret his defeat

BANNER,
one OF the Most valuable Historical Relics
Existing in Our Country.

It's not widely known that this ban
ner, celebrated in L%ongfellow's lines,
is still carefully preserved as a
cherished relic of the American r~evolu-
ton. Count Pulaski was appointed a
B~rigadicr in the army in 1777, after the
battle of Brandywine. He obtained
special permission to raise and COM
mand an Independent corps to consist
OF siNty-eight horse and two hundred
foot. There are several traditions re-
spccting this banner. One says that
Pulaski visited Lafayette. distinguished
in French and American history. while
wounded, and received the care and
hospitality of the Moravian sisters at
Bethlehem, in Pennsylvania. When it
became known to them that he was or
ganizing a corps Of cavalry, they pre-
pared 4 banner Of crimson silk, with
designs beautifully worked with needles
by their W hands, and sent it to
Pulaski with their blessing. Pulaski
received it gratefully, and bore
it CALAMITY until his death in
battle at Savannah in 1919.
bis banner was saved by his senior
Lieutenant, who received fourteen
wounds. 1t was carried in the pro-
cession which welcomed Lafayette to
Baltimore in 1924. In 1874 it was pre-.
sented to the Maryland Historical So.
ciety, by whom it is now carefully pre-.
served. But little of its beauty re.
mains. 1t is composed Of double silk,
now faded to II dull brownish red. The
designs on each side are worked with
yellow silk, the letters shaded with
green, and deep bullion fringe orna-
mcnts the edge. The size is twenty
inches square, n fact among many
that would lead US to think Longfellow
could not have known all the facts
when he composed his popular poem.
On one side are the letters U. s., and
in a circle round them "Unitas Virtus
Forcior' Union makes stronger); on
the other, in the center, is the all.
seeing eye, within a circle of thirteen
stars, and outside the stars are the
words Mon Alius Regit' (No Other
Govcrns).- CdsseW's Family Magazine.

And it shall NOT sting
Take this bit OF wisdom, dear,
Into every thing.
